SMART-TD is built from the ground up. Our union is strongest when members stay involved, speak up, and help shape the future of their local unions. That is always important, but even more so in the coming months.
2026 Is An Important Election Year
This year, local unions across SMART-TD will elect the leaders who will represent members for the next several years. Positions on the ballot include Local Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers, Trustees, Local Chairpersons, and several other key offices. These officers are the people who protect your rights, fight for safer workplaces, defend members in discipline cases, and help improve the quality of life for every member.
Local Leadership Makes a Difference
No one understands the needs of your local better than the members who work there every day. That’s why local elections matter. Choosing leaders who share your priorities and have earned your trust is one of the most important responsibilities of union membership.
But your voice can only be heard if we can reach you and get you your ballot.
Your Voice Starts with Staying Connected
Please take a few minutes today to make sure SMART-TD has your current contact information. Even if you think everything is correct, it’s worth checking. This is always true, but especially in a year featuring elections that have so much on the line for you, your coworkers and your family.
Our union only succeeds when members participate. That means staying informed, sharing ideas, voting in local elections, and choosing leaders who will work every day to protect safety, ensure fair treatment, and strengthen our union.
A Strong Union Starts with You
Every local is different. Every property has its own challenges. The best solutions come from the members who live those challenges every day. When members stay engaged and elect strong local leadership, our entire organization becomes stronger.
As we prepare for this important election year, help us make sure your voice is counted.
Verify and update your contact information today. It’s a simple step that helps keep you connected, informed, and ready to participate in the future of your local union and SMART-TD.
